![]() ![]() The Low, Low Woods introduces us to a town shrouded in mystery but it seems that the people aren’t as creeped out by it as we, the reader, are. That is, until Vee and El wake up in a movie theater unsure of what they were doing there in the first place, which is strange enough but then on the way home they see a deer-woman-creature and they seem…relatively calm about it?

Shudder-To-Think was once a coal mining town but the mines were abandoned following a strange phenomenon where the ground began to heat, people were dying, young women would wander the streets without recollection – something weird was happening. Anyway, the set-up is pretty familiar to anyway who grew up in a more rural environment (I live in PA but I’m from WV, so this comic hits me on several levels). For all I know Shudder-To-Think is the town I live in. I mean, obviously “Shudder-To-Think” isn’t a real place (that I know of) but the way Vee and El talk about it, it might not have always been called that. This story makes me feel like I should be wary since I live in PA. It is written and created by Carmen Maria Machado with art by Dani and colors by Tamra Bonvillain. The Low, Low Woods #1 is published by DC Comics under their Black Label imprint, presented by Joe Hill’s Hill House Comics. ![]()
